Ideally you want the saddle height screws to be very close to flush with the tops of the saddles, so they don’t stick up and catch your hand.

Do you have a fave material for doing it or will some playing cards do? NOS ones obviously.
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.

I had one (self-built!) guitar where I needed to shim the neck to get the strings higher at the bridge. I cut one old business card to fit the front 2/3rds of the pocket, and then another to fit the front 1/3rd. That made quite a difference to the string height at the bridge.
For Jazzmaster/Jag, or a Tele with Bigsby - it's always, and don't be afraid of big shims
It is to do with the feel of the picking hand on the bridge / body.
You cant shim a Les Paul.
